Technical details

The vulnerability exists in rcube_mime::decode_address_list(), which fails to strip control characters (CRLF sequences) from decoded display names. When a received email has CRLF characters encoded in the From display-name header, an attacker can inject arbitrary mail headers into the message the user bounces or resends. This is a classic mail header injection attack that requires user interaction (the victim must bounce/resend the malicious message) and can result in forged email headers.
